Water Scarcity Crisis Grips Minna, Niger State Residents Struggle for Clean Water

Acute water scarcity has plagued Minna, the capital of Niger State, with residents resorting to purchasing water from vendors due to the drying up of wells. The crisis began when the state government failed to pay the electricity bill for the water treatment plant, resulting in irregular water supply.

Concerns over a potential epidemic due to contaminated water have been raised, recalling a cholera outbreak in August that claimed lives.
